Charging cars at home at night is not the way to go, Stanford study finds
If the common charging of electric vehicles at home in the evening or overnight shifts to daytime at work as more cars go electric, then that would restrain extra costs for electricity systems, according to a new Stanford University study. (Image credit: Amy Adams)
Stanford researchers recommend alternatives to nighttime EV charging, previously believed to be the best time for accessing low demand and low cost electricity. The researchers say drivers should move to daytime charging which could cut costs and help the grid.
